Hattiesburg groups put on excellent performance

I just returned from an amazing event at William Carey University. The Hattiesburg Concert Band (Director-Sherman Hong) and the Meistersingers (Director-Connie Roberts) gave an outstanding Fourth of July concert at 3 p.m. June 29. It gives me great pleasure to hear people sing their hearts out and people play instruments together, giving all they have to an excellent performance.

Mildred Hong was the narrator and did an outstanding job and a local veterans group presented the colors at the beginning of the program. It made me proud to be an American. And to top it off — it was free. There are very few things in this world free anymore.
